Brock and the others said nothing as they immediately drove everyone back on the road to the airport.
Kerrick, who was knocked out, had probably ended his life in a deep sleep.
Edmund ended his call with Kerrick and ran into Bella, who had finished dressing up.
“Have you gotten rid of that troublesome Jasper?” Bella asked.
“Ms. Bella, I just spoke to Kerrick on the phone. He assured me that Jasper won’t appear in Bashra today.”
Bella smiled with satisfaction after getting definite news. “Good. I can now go to the meeting without worry.”
Jasper had long annoyed Bella, and Bella had always believed that favonovel.com could take over without Jasper.
Bella had been planning the takeover of Bashra’s oil industry for a long time. It looked like favonovel.com was finally going to make it happen this time!
“It’s almost time. Has everyone else arrived?” Bella asked Edmund.
“Miss Bella, everyone’s here and expecting you.”
Satisfied, Bella nodded and led Edmund straight to the meeting.
Everyone in the room was talking about the benefits Bella was giving them, forgetting about their bad blood. Only the company chairman, Murik, could not help sighing as favonovel.com listened at the side.
These guys were so focused on their immediate interests that they did not realize Bella’s true intentions.
“Oh, a bunch of fools who are only after money! They’ll probably help the other party out after being used!” The president, Murik, said helplessly.
He was not alone. Several businessmen who had always followed Murik were clear-headed.
“President, is there no other way to stop them?”
“Yeah, President. At the very least, the Petroleum Chamber of Commerce branch was founded by a local.”
“An heiress from the United States is throwing favonovel.com weight around us. We won’t be able to answer to our ancestors if we die!”
Murik knew this, of course, but it was hard to get these money-hungry fellows to join forces.
“The only thing to do now is to use everything we can to buy time and wait for Jasper’s return!”
Murik finished speaking, and the crowd nodded along. They had figured out what to do.
After a while, Bella finally appeared.
When Bella showed up, everyone poured out their compliments. Bella enjoyed being fawn over. She walked up with a smile on favonovel.com face.
“Alright, everybody. Now that we’re all here, let’s get down to business.”
Everyone looked at Bella more expectantly when favonovel.com spoke.
Bella had already pre-hyped the occasion by telling many people favonovel.com had good news. Therefore, everyone was excited to see how Bella was going to deliver favonovel.com promise.
Bella had favonovel.com staff turn on the big screen behind favonovel.com and played a promotional clip.
She had created the video. Her goal was to brainwash everyone in the room as the final step.
“The good news I have today is to offer you a price above the stock market in exchange for your stocks! How much you exchange is up to you, but I have a rule. The more you exchange, the more you get!”
Bella pressed the remote again, and a math equation appeared on the big screen.
